Junior Ranger: Scavenger Hunt and Plant Identification at Lakepoint State Park

May 16, 2026 | 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Lakepoint State Park 104 Lakepoint Drive Eufala, Alabama

Join us for an engaging, hands-on Junior Ranger guided scavenger hunt along the Discovery Trail, where exploration and learning go hand in hand. Participants will embark on a guided walking search of a variety of natural items found along the trail, using a scavenger hunt list as an interactive tool for discovery. As each item is found, we will pause to explore it more deeply, focusing on plant identification and the ecological roles these species play within the local environment. Through guided observation and discussion, participants will gain a greater understanding of how these elements contribute to the health and balance of the ecosystem which is an important part of becoming a Junior Ranger. This experience encourages curiosity, sharpens observation skills, and inspires stewardship of Alabama’s natural resources. Participants will practice the core Junior Ranger values of exploring, learning, and protecting the outdoors, making this program an ideal adventure for learners of all ages who are ready to discover the natural world and their role in caring for it.
